Do’s and Don’ts of Nail Care

1. Do’s

“Leave your nails without nail polish once in a while atleast inorder to allow them to breathe.

“Keep a pack of hand lotion or cream near the kitchen sink and use it each time after washing your hands.

“Wear gloves while doing housework or gardening and rub some hand cream or lotion before putting on the gloves.

“Apply oil to your nails whenever possible inorder to strengthen them.

“Include ample quantities of calcium and vitamin A in your daily diet.

“Keep your manicure set clean inorder to prevent any infection.

“Have a professional manicure done atleast once a month.

“Prolonged exposure to the sun is not good for nails and a lot of swimming will dry them. This can be encountered by keeping the nails and cuticles well moisturised.

“Before doing chores like dusting or gardening, first dig the nails into a soap bar. This prevents dirt from getting embedded under them and also make them easier to clean later.

“To keep nail polish intact in the bath, smoothen a little skin cream on it before going for a bath.

“If a nail breaks, we can get, professional help in fixing ‘false’ nails. Otherwise, try to file them down. If the break is bad, remove all the polish from that nail and mend the break with a small piece of cello-tape, cut to fit. Then re-apply polish.

“If nails are brittle and break or split easily, keep them oiled.

2. Don’ts

“Don’t use your nails on a job that can be done just as well with a pair of scissors, pliers or a hammer

“Don’t file nails when they are damp.

“Don’t cut cuticles

“Don’t wash clothes or dishes in very hot water

“Don’t bite or chew your nails.

“Don’t clean your nails with a sharp metal instrument – use a nail brush and orange stick instead.

“Don’t be seen with chipped nail polish – it is a sign of careless grooming.

“Don’t leave your hands in detergent for long.

“Don’t peel-off your nail polish as you wish to – always use a nail-polish remover.

1.Nail Polish Selection.Whenever we use nail polish, we should select the shade carefully. Deep toned polish looks good on long and slender nails. Pale colours make short nails look longer and they also look good on small, delicate-looking hands.

2.Nail- Length Decision. As regards the nail-length, not everyone can manage long nail. If we do a lot of typing or housework , play the guitar or are a sports freak, long nail are not for us.

File rather than cut as cutting weaken the nail and cause it to flake. File in one direction only from sides to centre, using the softer side of an emery board, not a metal file. Aim for a rounded tip: the shape at the tip should reflect the shape at the base to make a perfect oval.

USEFUL TIPS FOR BEAUTIFUL HANDS

Top 5 Salon Treatments

Posted on by

In this article we look to uncover the top 5 salon treatments, then we discuss the benefits that many seek and why people are willing to pay such high prices for such a service.

1.Hair Salon hair has become very diverse and very fashionable since the 1990s, especially for females, who see going to a salon and getting their hair either cut, coloured or washed, as a necessity. You will also want to feel comfortable with your hair stylist, so make sure you find a capable hairdresser that has a list of referrals before making a decision on what hairstyle you want. Most hairdressers are best at a select few haircut styles and dont specialize in every type of hairstyle.

2.Manicure Many girls like to treat themselves to some creative nails using some of best nail arts on offer. Nail salons are on offer to provide you with a manicure in which they will file, treat, massage and polish your hands. They will then glam up your nails and give them designer look, using a variety of polish, paints and glitters. Getting a manicure in a trendy new shade can act as an accessory to your outfits and it also a great reliever of stress.

3.Eye brow The three most popular options on offer to you from many salons are eyebrow waxing, threading and tweezing. Lots of women and an increasing number of men are looking to create perfectly shaped eyebrows. All of these techniques are branded painful, however many who do it regularly attest that they feel virtually no pain.

4.Massages Many look to massages to either get away from the stresses of their life or to release some tension their body has built during their day to day lifestyle. For those looking for a relaxing time, and just needing an hour to unwind, I recommend a soft tissue massage. A Soft Tissue Massage aims to alleviate aches, pains and injuries that are attributed to the bodys soft tissues and improve the performance of your muscles, circulatory system, joints, and immune system. For those looking for long-term physical fixes (and for those who can bear a bit of pain) you may want to look at Deep Tissue Massage (or Sports Massage). This massage technique focuses on releasing restrictions in the deeper layers of the muscles, tendons and ligaments.

5.Pedicure A pedicure is the same as a manicure apart from the fact it is for your feet and not for your hands. The core benefit is to improve the appearance of your feet and nails. Leg care below the knee became a common and now expected service included in pedicures, so make sure you get a complete service with your purchase. The massaging is one of the most important aspects of this treatment as massaging certain spots on someone’s foot sends signals to other parts of the body to encourage overall health improvement anywhere in the body, before the treatment is finished off with some creative nail art to make your feet look attractive.

Celebrity Beauty Tips – Hairstyles and Beauty Tips of the Stars

Posted on by

Celebrities enjoy a huge fan following especially when it comes to beauty and style matters. Being a style-icon a celebrity is imitated by his admirers once he builds an image. A celebrity beauty tip, whether it be about skin care, acne prevention, hair styling, reducing body weight or any other issue related to improving looks has always been cherished by the admirers. Adjudged from this angle, the best celebrity beauty tip of the present age are listed below.

Inspired by the doctrine that beauty comes in all sizes, shapes and colors and is more about self-expression than mere imitation of someone elses style, modern fans go for personal styling. A few generations back an individual would be content with just getting an Elvis Presley hair cut or a Marilyn Monroe makeup even if that gave a more or less dumb look. A present generation Tom Cruise admirer instead customizes the stars hairstyle to best suit his personality. Similarly, a woman obsessed with Julia Roberts may not opt for a curly crop, but rather sport her hair straight, a la Brooke Shields style.

The same celebrity beauty tip holds for make up and attires. Considering the camera glares and flashes they are exposed to, it is very fitting that a beauty pageant winner or a celebrity will settle on heavy makeup and some out of the ordinary clothing. However, when adopted in everyday lives, the too gorgeous, overtly glamorous looks will best be termed blunders on the fashion-front. No wonder that young women go for a lot of scaling down and opt for the girl next door look rather than the Diva look.

Most celebrities consider beauty as not just skin deep, and hence concentrate a lot on health care and grooming. With useful advices as natural and homemade beauty tips on skin, hair care and on other health related issues, this happens to be the most helpful aspect of celebrity worship. Although most of the beauty secrets shared by the stars are no different from the natural beauty tips one has grown up with, youngsters pay heed to these time tested beauty secrets only when it comes in the form of a celebrity beauty tip.

A celebrity beauty tip can be anything such as

Sticking to healthy lifestyle Giving the body its regular quota of exercises Increased intake of water Meditation Direct application of natural products like honey, milk, etc. Application of homemade beauty potions Application of other beauty treatments like TCA skin peels, etc.

The perfect combination of homemade beauty tips with occasional TCA peels seems the right answer when it comes to stopping the onslaught of professional stress and makeup. The fast-action TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) skin peels cause acne, pigmentations, scars and wrinkles to vanish in matter of moments and is perfectly safe. With the effects of the chemical skin exfoliation lasting for 6 months to a year, application by medical practitioners is recommended. The wide acceptance of TCA peels in the medical community has made it much more than just a celebrity beauty tip.

The Latest Trends In Mens Hairstyles

Posted on by

Today’s man hair style can be either long and textured or super short and tight and still be considered trendy and at the height of fashion. Some men’s hair styles require gel, mousse or pomade while others don’t even need to be combed. The truth is that now more than ever there are numerous ways to achieve a stylish and trendy man hair cut. That means that there are a lot of different styles for men who are looking for the perfect man hair style to choose from.

While the man’s hair style is less rigid than it was in the 80s and requires a lot less goo to accomplish, the modern man hair cut is still best served by a little styling. No, you do not need to spend hours in front of the mirror coaxing every strand into place, but a little gel never hurt any man’s hair style that I know of.

Here are just a few of the latest trends in men’s hair styles and how to style them:

“Super short man’s hair style. High and Tight, Fade, Spike, Clipper Cut and Crew Cut are just a few of the names given to the short man’s hair cut. By far the most popular man’s hair style is the High and Tight or Fade. Characterized by a closely cropped clipper cut around the sides and back of the head with just enough hair on top of the head to comb, this man’s hair style with its many variations accounts for about 75 percent of all popular styles today. With just a little bit of gel to spike up the top, mess it up a little or finger into place, this man’s hair style will only take you seconds to achieve. While you may have to get it cut more often, about every three weeks or so, the ease of styling this man hair cut is what makes it a favorite among busy men today.

“Medium length, textured men’s hair style. Today’s styles for men have a lot of texture and the same is true for medium-length styles (about 3 to 4 inches). These styles resemble the classic man hair cut of the past, but step it up a notch by using extreme texture and color to bring it all together. Most styles use a great deal of razoring and texturizing with notching scissors. To style this man’s hair style pomade usually works best. Work product through dry hair and finger into place.

“Long man’s hair style. While most men do not wear their hair down their back anymore, the long man’s hair style has made a somewhat shorter comeback. Perhaps the most recognizable example that I can give of this men’s hair style is Ashton Kutcher. Long, textured and disheveled, this man hair cut is gaining widespread popularity. Again, this man’s hair cut requires a lot of texture and works best with pomade.

As you can see from these few examples, the man’s hair style is far from boring. Gone are the days of cookie-cutter barber shop man hair cut. Here to stay is the trendy and styled cuts of today.
